TOMATO SALAD WITH LEMON AND CILANTRO
Another magazine find. The lemon rind and juice get utilized in this salad. I love the lemon oil fragrance in the lemon skin! I had it as a side dish with shrimp scampi and it went well. Nice with sea salt.

CHICKEN SALAD WITH LEMON-SESAME DRESSING
This main-dish salad is inspired by chicken larb, which is a dance of contrasts: light but rich, with tender meat, crunchy vegetables and seasonings that span sour, sweet, spicy and savory. This recipe dresses lean-but-juicy ground chicken or turkey with sesame oil, fresh lemon, miso, ginger, basil and celery, but there are many ways to adapt it: You could sauté crumbled tofu or cubed salmon instead of the chicken; or add yuzu kosho, wasabi paste or fried garlic. It's good on its own, or with roasted potatoes, grains, salad greens, soba noodles or wrapped in nori.

Steps:
- In a large (12-inch) skillet, heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium-low. Add the chicken, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and cook, breaking up into small pieces, until opaque and just cooked through, 3 to 6 minutes. (You're not looking to brown the meat here, which would risk drying it out.) Remove from heat to cool.
- In a large bowl, stir together the miso, lemon zest and juice, ginger and 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil.
- When the chicken is no longer hot (warm or cool both work), use a slotted spoon to add it to the bowl with the dressing, leaving any chicken juices behind. Stir to combine. Add the sliced celery, celery leaves, basil and sesame seeds; stir to combine. Taste, and if it needs more spice, add black pepper; if it's bland, add salt; if it's dry, add sesame oil. Eat warm or at room temperature. (Leftovers will keep for up to 2 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.)
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful cherry tomatoes: This will ensure that your salad is packed with sweetness and flavor. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and free of blemishes.
- Use a variety of colors of cherry tomatoes: This will add visual interest to your salad. You can find cherry tomatoes in a variety of colors, including red, yellow, orange, and purple.
- Slice the cherry tomatoes thinly: This will help them to absorb the dressing and flavors of the other ingredients in the salad.
- Use a good quality olive oil: This will help to bring out the flavors of the other ingredients in the salad. Look for an olive oil that is extra virgin and has a fruity flavor.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice: This will help to brighten the flavors of the salad and add a touch of acidity.
- Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste: This will help to bring out the flavors of the other ingredients in the salad.
- Serve the salad immediately: This will ensure that the cherry tomatoes are still crisp and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Cherry tomato and lemon salad is a refreshing, flavorful, and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for a summer meal. The sweetness of the cherry tomatoes pairs perfectly with the tartness of the lemon juice, and the olive oil and herbs add a delicious richness to the salad. This salad is also a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables.
